I can't believe the anger directed at the RFC this week. I'm sometimes told I set myself up to be hurt by having faith we'll go well each year, but I'm not the one who's angrily spewing vitriol with every post. 
Depressed, gutted, disappointed, hanging out for a better performance next week? Guilty to all charges.
I wonder if people are making too much of all the spin. We've heard heaps about the "5 year plan" and we've heard all summer how our players are having their best pre-season ever and are ready to step up. I don't take that much notice of any of those things. It's the club's duty to put a positive spin on the club and good on them. I'd hate the club to publicly eat their own like supporters have been known to do.
I don't know if Terry is the messiah some claim but I don't have any great reason to doubt it either. Time will tell how successful he is. I've heard heaps about our new game plan and our change of direction towards speed and skill but I haven't seen enough to be convinced yet. Doesn't mean I won't though, there are a lot of bad habits it will take time to get rid of first.
I wouldn't have a clue if our kids will make it or not but I'll support them and hope. I'll also have faith in the selectors who hopefully know better than me.
Is GM the best thing since sliced bread? Dunno, as with Terry it's early to judge results and time will tell.
We still get flogged, our debt increased, our membership hasn't had any dramatic rise. We are coming from a low point and I'm glad the leaders of our club, such as SW, TW and GM, recognise that and are trying to improve things.
There's a long season ahead and it's more important than ever that we all work in the same direction. A united club will achieve far more and I've certainly tried in my small way to bring club and supporters together more than has been the case in recent years.
If we didn't get flogged last weekend none of this hatred and bitterness would be happening this week. What a difference one result can make.
I can't help feeling we'll have a different attitude and more hope at the end of round 22 than we do after round 1. I hope so because it hurts to see such hatred directed towards the club I love.
